Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles in Cream sauce

by (updated 2709 days ago)
Ingredients: Butter / Cream / Swiss Chard

My mother is pretty awesome.  The kids love her, and she loves swiss chard. When she comes by to hang out with the boys so I can get my boring grown-up things done, I can say “thank you” with a heaping helping of Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles and Cream Sauce, which is her favorite adaptation of this recipe (on Simply Recipes, originally from The Victory Garden Cookbook) .  I opt to leave the leaves in with the stems, adding them to the pasta noodles for a quick blanch during the last few minutes of the boil.  

Summer Squash Fritters

Ingredients: Butter / Cheese / Corn Meal / Eggs / Onion / Summer Squash / Zucchini

The ole’ fritter is a great standby for many lingering veggies. I used cornmeal here, but flour also works. Parmesan cheese is a nice accompaniment, but feel free to make this your own, it’s totally a flexible treat.
